What guides feedback?

Low-Risk

• Ask what could happen if the bot gives poor feedback.
• Avoid unsupervised use for safety, legal, HR, medical, or emotional topics.
• Add human review when the stakes are higher.

Helpful

• Name the skill, decision, or concept learners need to practice.
• Keep the task focused, not open-ended.
• Avoid novelty: the bot should serve a clear learning purpose.

Protected

• Check what learners may type into the tool.
• Avoid personal, private, or sensitive workplace data.
• Use approved tools and clear boundaries.

Evidence-Based

• Connect feedback to a rubric, standard, or model.
• Define what "good performance" looks like.
• Don't let the bot freestyle feedback without criteria.
